Longtime Indianapolis Colt, Dwight Freeney, has found a new home with the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers were in desperation mode after losing Melvin Ingram to a torn ACL a week ago and brought in Freeney for a look a couple of days later. It didn&#8217;t take long for this deal to get done as [..2013-05-18 15:36:445/15: Bolt Beat- San Diego Pass Rushers, Minus Melvin Ingramhttp://boltbeat.com/2013/05/15/san-diego-pass-rushers-minus-melvin-ingram/
By James Fedewa Outside Linebacker Melvin Ingram tore his ACL suspending his sophomore season before it even began. Typical ACL injuries can take a full year to recover, but with current medical technology, recovery time can be as fast as 8 months. Either way, Melvin Ingram is done for the season an2013-05-15 18:35:255/15: Bolt Beat- Is Dwight Freeney &#8220;The Solution&#8221;? Is He Affordable?http://boltbeat.com/2013/05/15/san-diego-chargers-dwight-freeney-the-solution-is-he-affordable/
BoltFam, you all know what the story is all about: Melvin Ingram has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee yesterday; it was only the second day of the BoltsÂ´ OTAs this offseason. If the ACL is torn completely and surgery is needed, then heÂ´s definitely is out for the entire season 2013-05-15 17:35:225/15: Bolt Beat- Which is the bigger need right now: Dwight Freeney or Max Starks?http://boltbeat.com/2013/05/15/which-is-the-bigger-need-right-now-dwight-freeney-or-max-starks/
Now what is the Chargers biggest priority in the offseason? Would it be to sign Max Starks or would it be to sign Dwight Freeney?

There is no way that we can put our trust in Larry English. We have tried this before and it already bit us right in the butt. When has Larry ever lived up to our expectations? Even when we drop those expectations, he still doesn&#8217;t meet them.

After the New England Patriots decided to draft Michael Buchanan and Jamie Collins, I am far less sure that the team will decide to add a veteran pass rusher. However, they could inject an established vet to help ease the rookie transition, as well as generally give this team a better pass rush.

Today&#8217;s New England Patriots has news and quick-hit talk on the new jersey numbers, the Buffalo Bills, and a pair of free agent defensive ends that the Patriots could still have interest in. 1.

On the surface, this seems like an obvious question. Yes, certain teams are good at drafting and certain teams are bad at drafting. It&#8217;s easy to think of the Matt Millen Lions or the Raiders at the end of the Al Davis era as terrible drafting teams. With the benefit of hindsight, they were ter2013-04-22 00:37:114/12: Musket Fire- New England Patriots to work out Ezekiel Ansahhttp://musketfire.com/2013/04/12/new-england-patriots-to-work-out-ezekiel-ansah/
BYU Cougars edge rusher Ezekiel Ansah is reportedly set to have a private workout with the New England Patriots, and it shows that the Pats are indeed in the market for another pass rusher at defensive end. My preference has been to sign John Abraham (or Dwight Freeney if the price is right), becaus2013-04-12 10:35:223/29: SideLion Report- Dwight Freeney To The Lions Sounds Like a Better Idea Than It Likely Ishttp://sidelionreport.com/2013/03/29/dwight-freeney-to-the-lions-sounds-like-a-better-idea-than-it-likely-is/

The New England Patriots have brought in veteran defensive ends John Abraham and Dwight Freeney in for workouts today, and there is a strong chance that one of them will be signed by the Pats as a pass rushing specialist.
